Bullet Voting Explained

We keep hearing on social media sites about bullet voting. What is it, why would I do it, and does it work?

HBO on Main Street, Day 1

Posted on by Fredrik Bodin
Here's a view of today's shoot at the corner of Main and Center Streets. From what I could glean, the filming was mostly drive-by's with 70's and 80's cars, all with Maine plates. They'll be working here tomorrow and the day after. Interesting for me, but not much business.

This is Hillary Derby with her HBO walkie talkie, a professional costumer for big productions. She stopped by for a short visit. I know Hillary through Janet, they're cousins. "Hill" and her husband Tom have hosted the family for many an Easter Dinner at their home in Boston. The poor woman has to be on set at 5:30am, but she's used to it.

In talking to Hillary, I pointed out the truck across the street in Palazola's parking lot. "Is that the Chow Wagon?" I asked. Turns out, it's the "Snack Wagon." They serve water, coffee, sandwiches, and other snacks. The real chow is served at Sugar Magnolia's, which HBO has rented.

Thirty-five year old cars with Maine plates, people dressed in the latest 70’s fashion, lots of activity and lots of waiting. Just another day on the set.

The Gift That Keeps On Giving

Posted on by Sista Felicia

PrintIt feels like Christmas every time I receive a GMG comment, email, or Facebook message from GMG’s FOB regarding one of my recipes or post! When I decided to share my recipes and passion for cooking with the public I never realized how my “Gifts Of Gold” would become a gift that keeps on giving. I had hoped to inspire all ages to get into their kitchen and break through their fairs, and unlock the mysteries of cooking, but I had no idea they would turn into gifts of my own. Thank you for taking the time to share your comments, and photos of dishes that you created from my easy Step-by-Step tutorials. They warm my heart and bring a smile to face every day…keep them coming!

Cathy Kelley~ AKA…my incredibly talented book designer and friend, sent in her photo of her Walnut Cups she made this past weekend from the pages of “Gifts Of Gold In A Sicilian Kitchen with Sista Felicia”. They look perfect…Nice job Cathy! Thank you for sharing.

Before Passports

Posted on by Fredrik Bodin
From Brenda Grimes Davis: "Fred...Here's a picture of Barney Marnoy who managed Benny Schred's fabric store...which was located where Passports (temporarily Village Pharmacy) is in the 1960s...he's standing just outside the door..I believe Benny was Barney's father-in-law." Notice the Rexall sign on the left. That was the original location of Connors Pharmacy on Main Street.
